FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating an example electronic apparatus according to an embodiment.

As illustrated in FIG. 1, the electronic apparatus 100 comprises a photographing part (e.g., including image capturing circuitry) 110, a memory 120, an outputter (e.g., including output circuitry) 130, and a processor (e.g., including processing circuitry) 140.

The photographing part 110 may include various image capturing circuitry including, for example, a camera. The photographing part 110 may include various image capturing circuitry, such as, for example, and without limitation, a lens (not shown) through which an image is penetrated and an image sensor (not shown) which senses the image penetrated through the lens. The image sensor (image) may, for example, and without limitation, be implemented as a CCD image sensor, a CMOS image sensor, or the like. The image data acquired through the photographing part 110 may be processed by an image processor (not shown).

The memory 120 may temporarily store at least one of contents received from outside and contents stored in another memory of the electronic apparatus 100 or in an external memory physically connected to the electronic apparatus 100.

The contents may include, for example, and without limitation, at least one of image data, audio data, texts, or the like.

The outputter 130 may include various output circuitry and outputs contents. For example, the outputter 130 may include various output circuitry to output at least one of image data, audio data, text, etc. included in the contents, but is not limited thereto.

The processor 140 may include various processing circuitry and identifies a first section related to a first behavior by analyzing contents temporarily stored in the memory 120, and controls the outputter 130 to output the contents of the identified first section (as used herein, phrases indicating that the processor performs or is configured to perform various actions or functions include that the processor controls the electronic apparatus to perform the various functions and is not limited to the processor itself performing the various recited functions). In addition, while the contents of the first section are output through the outputter 130, the processor 140 may control the photographing part 110 to operate in a photographing mode. Accordingly, the photographing mode 110 may convert to the photographing mode and photographing an image, and the processor 140 may acquire a user image which is photographed through the photographing part 110 while the contents of the first section are output.

The processor 140 may identify whether the user has completed the first behavior performed in the contents of the first section by analyzing the acquired user image, and if it is identified that the first behavior has been completed, controls the outputter 130 to output the contents of a second section which is the next section of the first section.

Accordingly, the outputter 130 may output the contents of the second section, and when the contents of the second section are output, the processor 140 may perform a series of operations described above and identify whether a second behavior performed in the contents of the second section has been completed.

The processor 140 may identify a section related to each behavior through the following embodiments.

According to an embodiment, the processor 140 may control the electronic apparatus to input an image frame forming an image included in the contents to a trained AI model and acquires a feature value of the input image frame, and performs a scene understanding related to the first behavior based on the acquired feature value. The processor 140 may identify the first section related to the first behavior from a pre-acquired image based on the performed scene understanding.

A more detailed description regarding the AI model for exacting a feature value from the input image frame will be provided below.

The contents include, without limitation, audio data. In this example, the processor 140 may acquire a sentence from audio data included in the contents, identify an object and behavior information by analyzing a constituent element of the acquired sentence, and identify the first section related to the first behavior based on the identification result.

The processor 140 may identify the first section related to the first behavior from the contents.

The processor 140 may input an image frame forming a user image captured through the photographing part 110 to the trained AI model, and acquire a feature value of the input image frame. Subsequently, the processor 140 performs a scene understanding regarding a user behavior included in the user image based on the acquired feature value.

The processor 140 may identify whether a user has completed the first behavior related to the contents of the first section.

If image data is included in the contents, the processor 140 may identify whether the first behavior has been completed using an image of the first section through the following embodiment.

According to an embodiment, the processor may identify whether a user has completed the first behavior by comparing a feature value of an image frame forming a pre-acquired image of the first section and a feature value of an image frame forming the user image.

According to another embodiment, the processor 140 may identify whether a user has completed the first behavior based on a scene understanding regarding an image of the first section, which is performed from a feature value of an image frame forming an image of the first section and a scene understanding regarding the user behavior, which is performed from a feature value of an image frame forming the user image.

According to an additional example aspect of the present disclosure, the processor 140 acquires the first sentence by performing a scene understanding regarding the first behavior included in an image of the first section, and acquires the second sentence by performing a scene understanding regarding a user behavior included in the user image.

For example, the processor 140 may identify an object included in an image frame based on a feature value of a plurality of consecutive image frames forming an image of the first section, and acquire the first sentence representing the first behavior by performing a scene understanding regarding the first behavior included in the first section from a relation with the identified object.

The processor 140 may identify an object included in an image frame based on a feature value of a plurality of consecutive image frames forming a user image which is captured while an image of the first section is reproduced, and acquire the second sentence representing a user behavior by performing a scene understanding regarding a user behavior from a relation with the identified object.

When the first sentence representing the first behavior included in the section and the second sentence representing the user behavior are acquired, the processor 140 control the outputter 130 to display the acquired first and second sentences in an area of the display where an image of the first section is displayed. Accordingly, the outputter 130 displays the first and second sentences on one area of the display where an image of the first section is displayed.

Accordingly, a user may identify whether he or she performs a behavior related to the first behavior included in the image of the first section through the first and second sentences displayed on one area of the screen of the user terminal apparatus 100.

As described above, the method that the first processor 140 acquires the first sentence by performing a scene understanding regarding the first behavior included in the image of the first section and acquires the second sentence by performing a scene understanding regarding a user behavior included in the user image will be described in detail later.

According to an additional aspect of the present disclosure, the processor 140 may identify whether a user performs the first behavior based on a similarity level between the pre-acquired first and second sentences.

For example, the processor 140 may measure a similarity value between the pre-acquired first and second sentences, and if the similarity value is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value by comparing the measured similarity value and the predetermined threshold value, identify that the user has performed the first behavior regarding the image of the first section.

If the measured similarity value is less than the predetermined threshold value, the processor 140 may identify that the user has not performed the first value regarding the image of the first section.

In this example, the processor 140 may compare the similarity value and the predetermined threshold value continuously and if it is identified that the measured similarity value is less than the predetermined threshold value for a predetermined threshold value, may identify that the user has not performed the first behavior regarding the image of the first section.

Meanwhile, the contents may include, without limitation, audio data.

In this example, as described above, the processor 140 may acquire a sentence of the first section related to the first behavior from a sentence related to audio data included in the contents.

The processor 140 may identify whether the user has performed the first behavior regarding the first section by comparing the similarity value between the sentence of the first section and the second sentence representing the user behavior which is acquired from the user image captured while the image of the first section is reproduced with the predetermined threshold value.

If it is identified that the first behavior is not performed through the above embodiment, the processor 140 generates a message informing that a behavior different from the first behavior is being performed, and controls the outputter 130 to output the generated message through at least one of an image or audio.

The user may confirm that he or she does not perform the first behavior regarding the first section appropriately through the message output through the electronic apparatus 100.

According to an additional example aspect of the present disclosure, if it is identified that the user has not completed the first behavior regarding the first section, the processor 140 stops the reproduction of the pre-acquired image of repeatedly reproduces the image of the first section.

As described above, the processor 140 may determine whether the user has completed the first behavior regarding the first section by comparing the feature value of the image frame forming the image of the first section with the feature value of the image frame forming the user image.

In addition, the processor 140 may identify whether the user has completed the first behavior regarding the first section based on a scene understanding related to the first behavior regarding the first section and a scene understanding regarding the user behavior.

If it is identified that the user has not completed the first behavior regarding the first section, the processor 140 controls the outputter 130 to stop the reproduction of the image or to repeatedly reproduce the image of the first section. Accordingly, the outputter 130 may stop the reproduction of the image or repeatedly reproduce the image of the first section.

While the reproduction of the image is stopped or the image of the first section is repeatedly reproduced, if a behavior different from the first behavior is performed for a predetermined threshold time, the processor 140 controls the outputter 130 to reproduce the image of the second section.

For example, the processor 140 performs a scene understanding regarding the user behavior by analyzing the user image which is acquired while the reproduction of the image is stopped or the image of the first section is repeatedly reproduced. The processor 140 identifies whether the user performs a behavior different from the first behavior regarding the first section consecutively for more than a predetermined time based on the performed scene understanding. If it is identified that the user has performed a behavior different from the first behavior regarding the first section for more than a predetermined threshold time, the processor 140 controls the outputter 130 to reproduce an image of the second section.

Accordingly, the outputter 130 may reproduce an image of the second section continuously after the image of the first section.

As described above, the contents may include, without limitation, audio data.

In this example, if it is identified that the user has not completed the first behavior regarding the first section, the processor 140 may stop the reproduction of the sentence related to the audio data included in the contents, or control the outputter 130 to output the sentence of the first section continuously.

If it is identified that the first behavior regarding the first section has been completed through the above-described embodiment while the sentence related to the audio included in the contents is stopped or the sentence of the first section is continuously output, the processor 140 may control the outputter 130 to output the sentence of the second section.

The above-described memory 120 may include a buffer 121 and a main memory 122 (see, e.g., FIG. 2). Accordingly, the processor 140 stores acquired contents in the buffer 121, and if the storage capacity of the buffer 121 is insufficient, the remaining image which is not stored in the buffer 121 is stored in the main memory 122.

For example, the buffer 121 temporarily stores data, and may be a volatile memory using the data which is temporarily stored in the buffer 121.

The storage capacity of the buffer 121 may be smaller than the storage capacity of the main memory 122 provided in the electronic apparatus 100. The buffer 121 temporarily stores a plurality of image frames forming image data (hereinafter, referred to as an image) included in the contents received from the outside in a predetermined part. Subsequently, when an image frame of a certain part is reproduced, the buffer 121 temporarily store image frames of a predetermined part afterwards while the corresponding image frame is reproduced.

As described above, if there is an event where the user has not completed the first behavior regarding the first section and thus, the reproduction of the image is stopped or the image of the first section is repeatedly reproduced, the processor 140 checks the available storage capacity of the buffer 121 which stores images while the corresponding event occurs. Upon checking, if it is identified that there is no available storage capacity, the processor 140 stores the remaining images which are not stored in the buffer 121 in the main memory 122.

If the user has completed the first behavior regarding the first section and an image of the second section is reproduced, the buffer 121 may temporarily store the remaining images stored in the main memory 122.

Each of the foregoing modules may include various processing circuitry and/or executable program elements.

The feature value acquiring module 151 is a module that may include various processing circuitry and/or executable program elements and acquires a feature value of an input image frame by inputting an image frame temporarily stored in the memory 120 from among a plurality of image frames forming an image to a trained AI module.

If a feature value for each image frame is acquired through the feature value acquiring module 151, an object included in the image frame input to the AI module can be identified based on the acquired feature value.

The scene understanding module 152 may include various processing circuitry and/or executable program elements and performs a scene understanding related to each behavior based on the acquired feature value. Specifically, the scene understanding module 152 acquires image information for each image frame based on the acquired feature value. The image information may include object information, color information, location information regarding an object, etc. The scene understanding module 152 acquires movement information regarding a pre-defined specific object from among object information included in the image information regarding each image frame based on the acquired feature value. Here, the pre-defined specific object may be a representative object from among objects included in each image frame.

The scene understanding module 152 may include various processing circuitry and/or executable program elements and performs a scene understanding related to each behavior based on the image information acquired based on the feature value and the movement information regarding an object.

The scene understanding module 152 generates a sentence related to each behavior based on the scene understanding which is performed in relation to each behavior.

According to an embodiment, the scene understanding module 152 may generate a sentence related to each behavior using, for example, and without limitation, a Recurrent Neural network (RNN) model of a Long Short-term Memory (LSTM) scheme.

The Recurrent Neural network (RNN) model of the Long Short-term Memory (LSTM) scheme may, for example, be a model for inputting a long-term stored data and short-term stored data and outputting the resultant value.

The scene understanding module 152 may generate a sentence related to each behavior by inputting image information acquired from each of a plurality of image frames and movement information regarding a specific object to the RNN model of the LSTM scheme.

The section analysis module 153 may include various processing circuitry and/or executable program elements and identifies a section related to each behavior based on the scene understanding which is performed through the scene understanding module 152.

For instance, if a feature value is acquired from a plurality of image frames forming an image related to the image of cooking food A, the scene understanding module 152 performs a scene understanding for each cooking step (each behavior) for cooking food A based on the acquired feature value. Subsequently, the section analysis module 153 classifies image frames related to each cooking step as the images of the same section based on the scene understanding for each cooking step (each behavior) for cooking food A which has been performed through the scene understanding module 152.

When a user voice is input through the input part 160, the voice recognition module 154 converts the input user voice to a language which can be recognized by the electronic apparatus 100.

If a user voice is input, the voice recognition module 154 converts the input user voice to a text using a Speech to Text (STT) algorithm, and identifies the user's utterance intention by analyzing the user voice which has been converted to the text.

If a text regarding a user voice is acquired through the above voice recognition module 154, the scene understanding module 152 may generate a sentence related to each behavior by inputting the image information acquired from each of a plurality of image frames, the movement information of a specific object, and the text regarding the user voice through the voice recognition module 154 as described above.

An example controlling method of the electronic apparatus 100 to automatically reproduce an image based on a user behavior according to an embodiment will be described in greater detail below.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an example method for automatically outputting contents based on a user behavior in an electronic apparatus according to an embodiment.

As illustrated in FIG. 4, when contents received from outside are input, the electronic apparatus 100 acquires the input contents and temporarily stores the contents in the memory 120 (S410).

The contents may include at least one of image data, audio data and texts.

The electronic apparatus 100 identifies the first section related to the first behavior by analyzing the stored contents, and outputs the contents of the identified first section (S420, S430). The electronic apparatus 100 acquires a user image captured while the contents of the first section are output (S440).

However, the present disclosure is not limited to the above embodiment, and the electronic apparatus 100 may receive a user voice through the input part 160 while the contents of the first section are output, and acquire texts which are converted from the input user voice through the above-described embodiment.

The contents of the first section may be contents of the first section, and when the contents of such the first section are output, the electronic apparatus 100 may acquire a user image captured through the following embodiment.

According to an embodiment, when the output of the contents of the first section starts, the electronic apparatus 200 may activate a camera (not illustrated) to photograph a surrounding environment including the user and acquire the user image including the user through the activated camera (not illustrated).

According to another embodiment, when the output of the contents of the first section starts, and a pre-defined user motion is sensed through the sensor 180, the electronic apparatus 100 may activate a camera (not illustrated) to photograph a surrounding environment including the user and acquire the user image including the user through the activated camera (not illustrated).

If the user image which is photographed while the contents of the first section are output is acquired through the above embodiment, the electronic apparatus 100 analyzes the acquired user image and identifies whether the user has completed the first behavior related to the contents of the first section (S450).

If it is identified that the user has not completed the first behavior related to the contents of the first section, the electronic apparatus 100 may stop outputting the contents or repeatedly output the contents of the first section until the user has completed the first behavior (S460).

If it is identified that the user has completed the first behavior related to the contents of the first section, the electronic apparatus 100 outputs the contents of the second section which is the next section of the first section (S470).

The electronic apparatus 100 identifies whether the user has completed the second behavior related to the contents of the second section by performing the above-described steps S440 and S450 and analyzing the user image which is photographed while the contents of the second section are output.

If it is identified that the user has not completed the second behavior related to the contents of the second section, the electronic apparatus 100 may stop the reproduction of the contents through the above-described step S460 or repeatedly output the contents of the second section until the user has completed the first behavior.

If it is identified that the user has completed the second behavior related to the contents of the second section, the electronic apparatus 100 determines whether there are section contents after the second section and if so, repeatedly performs the operations of the above-described steps of S440 to S470, and if there are not section contents after the second section, terminates the operation of the automatic output of contents according to the user behavior.

An example method of identifying a section image for each behavior from image data included in the contents and acquiring the photographed user image in the electronic apparatus 100 in described in greater detail below.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an example of identifying a section image for each behavior from an image included in contents in an electronic apparatus according to an embodiment.

The contents received from outside may include image data. In this example, the electronic apparatus 100 temporarily stores a plurality of image frames forming image data (hereinafter, referred to as an image) included in the contents received from outside in the memory 120. For example, the plurality of image frames temporarily stored in the memory 120 may be consecutive partial image frames among all image frames forming the image.

If the consecutive image frames are stored in the memory 120, as illustrated in FIG. 5, the electronic apparatus 100 input the plurality of image frames which are temporarily stored in the memory 120 to an AI model and acquire a feature value regarding each of the plurality of image frames (S421).

For example, the feature value of each of the plurality of image frames may be information to identify an object included in each of the plurality of image frames.

If the feature value regarding each of the plurality of image frames is acquired, the electronic apparatus 100 performs a scene understanding regarding the first behavior based on each of the acquired feature value (S422).

The electronic apparatus 100 identifies the first section related to the first behavior based on the scene understanding which has been performed with respect to the first behavior (S423).

For example, the electronic apparatus 100 may perform a scene understanding related to the first behavior from a plurality of image frames based on the image information regarding each of the plurality of image frames and the movement information of a specific object which has been acquired based on the feature value of each of the plurality of image frames using the above-described scene understanding module 152.

The electronic apparatus 100 my identify an image frame related to the first behavior among a plurality of image frames as an image frame of the first section based on the scene understanding which has been performed regarding the first behavior.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating an example method for acquiring a user image captured by an electronic apparatus according to an embodiment.

As illustrated in FIG. 6, if the user image captured through a camera (not illustrated) is acquired while an image of the first section is reproduced, the electronic apparatus 100 inputs a plurality of image frames forming the acquired user image to an AI model and acquires a feature value of the plurality of image frames input to the AI model (S441).

For example, the feature value of each of the plurality of image frames may be information for identifying an object included in each of the plurality of image frames.

Once the feature value of the plurality of image frames is acquired, the electronic apparatus 100 performs a scene understanding regarding a user behavior from the pre-acquired user image based on each acquired feature value (S422).

As described above, the electronic apparatus 100 may activate a camera (not illustrated) while an image of the first section related to the first behavior is reproduced, and acquired the user image which is captured through the activated camera (not illustrated).

However, the present disclose is not limited to the above embodiment, and if a pre-defined user motion is sensed through the sensor 180, the electronic apparatus 100 may activate a camera (not illustrated) and acquire the user image captured through the activated camera (not illustrated).

For example, if the image of the first section related to the first behavior is an image of the start section from among a plurality of section images divided from the entire image and if a pre-defined user motion is sensed through the sensor 180, the electronic apparatus 100 may activate a camera (not illustrated) and acquire the user image captured through the activated camera (not illustrated).

According to another embodiment, if a pre-defined user motion is sensed through the sensor 180, the electronic apparatus 100 reproduces an image of each section. In other words, if a pre-defined user motion is sensed, the electronic apparatus 100 reproduces an image of the first section which is the start section from among a plurality of sections, and when the reproduction of the image of the first section ends, the electronic apparatus 100 may reproduce an image of the second section which is the next section of the first section according to whether a pre-defined user motion is sensed.

While the image of each section is reproduced, the electronic apparatus may activate a camera (not illustrated), and acquire the user image captured through the activated camera (not illustrated).

If the user image captured through the camera (not illustrated) while the image of the first section is reproduced, the electronic apparatus 100 may acquire a feature value regarding an object forming a plurality of image frames by inputting the plurality of image frames forming the acquired user image to an AI model.

If a feature value regarding an object forming a plurality of image frames with respect to the user image is acquired, the electronic apparatus 100 may perform a scene understanding regarding a user behavior from the user image based on the image information regarding each of the plurality of image frames which is acquired based on a feature value regarding the plurality of image frames using the above-described scene understanding module 152 and the movement information of a specific object.

When the reproduction of the image of the first section regarding the first behavior is terminated, the electronic apparatus 100 may analyze the user image captured while the image of the first section is reproduced and identify whether the user has completed the first behavior regarding the first section.

According to an embodiment, if it is identified that the image of the first section regarding the first behavior, which is being reproduced, is the image of the ending point, the electronic apparatus 100 acquires a feature value (hereinafter, referred to as the first feature value) of the image frame forming the image of the ending point among the plurality of image frames forming the image of the first section and a feature value (hereinafter, referred to as the second feature value) of the image frame forming the user image captured before and after the ending point of the image of the first section being reproduced. Subsequently, the electronic apparatus 100 compares the acquired first and second feature values to identify whether the user has completed the first behavior related to the image of the first section.

According to another embodiment, if it is identified that that the image of the first section regarding the first behavior, which is being reproduced, is the image of the ending point, the electronic apparatus 100 may identify whether the user has completed the first behavior related to the image of the first section based on the scene understanding performed using the feature value of the image frame forming the image of the ending point among the plurality of image frames forming the image of the first section and the scene understanding performed using the feature value of the image frame forming the user image captured before and after the ending point of the image of the first section being reproduced.

Through the above embodiment, if it is identified that the user has completed the first behavior related to the image of the first section, the electronic apparatus 100 may reproduce the image of the second section which is the next section of the first section.

When the image of the second section is reproduced, the electronic apparatus 100 may identify whether the user has completed the second behavior related to the image of the second section from the user image captured while the image of the second section is reproduced by performing the above-described operations.

If it is identified that the first behavior related to the image of the first section has not been completed, the electronic apparatus 100 may stop the reproduction of the image or repeatedly reproduce the image of the first section until the user has completed the first behavior.

While the image of the first section related to the first behavior is reproduced, the electronic apparatus 100 may analyze the user image captured while the image of the first section is reproduced, the electronic apparatus 100 may identify whether the user normally performs the first behavior regarding the first section.

According to an embodiment, while the image of the first section related to the first behavior is reproduced, the electronic apparatus 100 generates a sentence related to the first behavior based on the scene understanding which is performed using the feature value acquired from a plurality of image frames forming the image of the first section.

The electronic apparatus 100 generates a sentence related to the user behavior based on the scene understanding which is performed using the feature value acquired from a plurality of image frames forming the user image captured while the image of the first section is reproduced.

The electronic apparatus 100 compares a similarity between the generated sentence related to the first behavior regarding the image of the first section and the sentence related to the user behavior. If the similarity of the two sentences is equal to or greater than a threshold value, the electronic apparatus 100 identifies that the user is performing the first behavior related to the first section.

If the similarity of the two sentences is less than a threshold value, the electronic apparatus 100 identifies that the user is not performing the first behavior related to the first section.

If it is identified that the first behavior has not been completed, the electronic apparatus 100 may output a message informing that a behavior different from the first behavior has been performed through one of an image and audio.

An example method of automatically reproducing an image according to a user behavior in the electronic apparatus 100 according to an embodiment has been described in detail. The operation of identifying whether a user performs a behavior of a section image separated from an image in the electronic apparatus 100 according to an embodiment will be described in greater detail below.

FIG. 7 is diagram illustrating an example of identifying whether a user behavior is a behavior of a section image in an electronic apparatus according to an embodiment.

As illustrated in FIG. 7, the electronic apparatus 100 may receive a streaming image 710 requested by a user through a content server (not illustrated) that provides an image. For instance, upon a user's request, the electronic apparatus 100 may receive the streaming image 710 related to a Chinese cooking.

Once such an image 710 is received, the electronic apparatus 100 may temporarily store a plurality of image frames forming the received image 710 sequentially in the memory 120.

If the plurality of image frames forming the image are temporarily stored in the memory 120, the electronic apparatus 100 analyzes the plurality of image frames which are temporarily stored in the memory 120 and identifies a section 720 for each cooking stage (behavior) of the Chinese cooking requested by the user.

Specifically, the electronic apparatus 100 inputs the plurality of image frames which are temporarily stored in the memory 120 to a trained AI model, and acquire a feature value 721 of the plurality of input image frames. Subsequently, the electronic apparatus 100 performs a scene understanding for each cooking stage (behavior) of the Chinese cooking requested by the user based on the feature value 721 of the plurality of image frames.

The electronic apparatus 100 identifies a section 722 for the image reproduction for each cooking stage (behavior) based on the scene understanding performed for each cooking stage (behavior) of the Chinese cooking requested by the user.

When the section 722 for image reproduction for each cooking stage (behavior) is identified, the electronic apparatus 100 selects the first section 722-1 which is a start section of the Chinese cooking requested by the user, and reproduces the image (722-1′) of the selected first section.

When the reproduction of the image 722-1′ of the first section starts, the electronic apparatus 100 acquires a user image 730 by photographing a user around a camera (not illustrated) using the camera (not illustrated). If the user image 730 captured through the camera is acquired while the image 722-1′ of the first section is reproduced, the electronic apparatus 100 inputs the image frames forming the acquired user image 730 to a trained AI model, and acquires a feature value 731 of the input image frames.

The electronic apparatus compares the feature value 721-1 which is acquired regarding the image 722-1′ of the first section and the feature value 731 which is acquired regarding the user image captured while the image 722-1′ of the first section is reproduced.

According to the similarity between the two feature values 721-1, 731, the electronic apparatus 100 identifies whether the user has performed the operation of preparing cooking ingredients (behavior) related to the image 722-1′ of the first section.

For example, the image 722-1′ of the first section may be an image regarding the step of preparation of cooking material (behavior) 740 for preparing and trimming cooking material.

Accordingly, the electronic apparatus 100 may compare two features values 721-1, 731 and identify whether the user has completed the material preparation step (behavior) (740) for preparing and trimming cooking material.

If it is identified that the two feature values 721-1, 731 are similar, the electronic apparatus 100 may identify that the user has completed the material preparation step (behavior) 740 for preparing and trimming cooking material, and reproduce the image of the second section which is the next section of the image 722-1′ of the first section.

For example, the image of the second section is related to the cooking step (behavior) next to the material preparation step of preparing and trimming cooking material.

If the two feature values 721-1, 731 are not similar, the electronic apparatus 100 may identify that the user has not completed the cooking material preparation step (behavior) 740, and may stop the reproduction of the image regarding the Chinese cooking until the user has completed the step of preparing and trimming the cooking material 740 or may repeatedly reproduce the image 722-1′ of the first section.

FIG. 8A is a diagram illustrating an example where an image is reproduced automatically according to a user behavior in an electronic apparatus according to an embodiment, FIG. 8B is a diagram illustrating an example where an image is reproduced automatically according to a user behavior in an electronic apparatus according to an embodiment, FIG. 8C is a diagram illustrating an example where an image is reproduced automatically according to a user behavior in an electronic apparatus according to an embodiment, and FIG. 8D is a diagram illustrating an example where an image is reproduced automatically according to a user behavior in an electronic apparatus according to an embodiment.

Once an image related to a dish that a user requests is received from a content server (not illustrated), the electronic apparatus 100 identifies a section related to each behavior by analyzing the received image related to the cooking.

As illustrated in FIG. 8A, the electronic apparatus 100 reproduces an image 810 of the first section related to the first behavior which is the initial start section among pre-identified sections for behavior.

For instance, if the first behavior is a behavior related to the preparing of cooking material for the dish the user requested, the electronic apparatus 100 may display the image 810 of the first section related to the behavior of preparing cooking material among images on the screen.

Once the reproduction of the image 810 of the first section is initiated, the electronic apparatus photographs a user image 820 including the user located around the camera (not illustrated) through the camera (not illustrated).

The electronic apparatus 100 displays the image 810 of the first section on the first area, and the user image 820 captured while the image 810 of the first section is displayed, on the second area which is different from the first area where the image 810 of the first section is displayed.

Accordingly, the user may monitor the user image 820 displayed on the second area of the screen and identify whether he or she appropriately performs the behavior of preparing the cooking material related to the image 810 of the first section.

In addition, as mentioned above, the electronic apparatus 100 displays the image 810 of the first section on the first area, and displays the user image 820 captured while the image 810 of the first section is displayed, on the second area which is different from the first area where the image 810 of the first section is displayed.

In this example, the electronic apparatus 100 may display a sentence 830 which is generated to correspond to each of the image 810 of the first section and the user image 820 on the third area which is different from the first and the second areas where the image 810 of the first section and the user image 820 are displayed, respectively.

For example, as described above, the electronic apparatus 100 performs a scene understanding regarding the behavior of preparing cooking material related to the image 810 of the first section. Subsequently, the electronic apparatus 100 generates a first sentence 831 related to the behavior of preparing the cooking material based on the performed scene understanding and displays the generated first sentence 831 on the third area of the screen.

In addition, as described above, the electronic apparatus 100 performs a scene understanding regarding a user behavior related to the user image 820 which is captured while the image 810 of the first section is displayed. Subsequently, the electronic apparatus 100 generates a second sentence 832 related to the user behavior based on the performed scene understanding and displays the generated second sentence 832 on the third area 830.

Accordingly, the user may identify whether he or she appropriately performs the behavior of preparing the cooking material related to the image 810 of the first section by monitoring the user image 820 displayed on the second area or through the sentence 830 displayed on the third area of the screen.

If the image 810 of the first section has ended, the electronic apparatus identifies whether the user has completed the behavior of preparing the cooking material by analyzing the user image which is captured at the time when the image 810 of the first section is ended.

If it is identified that the user has not completed the behavior of preparing the cooking material, the electronic apparatus 100 stops the reproduction of the image related to the cooking requested by the user as illustrated in (a) of FIG. 8C.

In other words, if it is identified that the user has not completed the behavior of preparing the cooking material, the electronic apparatus 100 may display the image 810-1 which is the image at the time when the image 810 of the first section is ended on the first area, and display the user image 820-1 captured while the image 810-1 at the time when the image 810 of the first section is ended on the second area of the screen.

If it is identified that the user has not completed the behavior of preparing the cooking material, the electronic apparatus 100 repeatedly reproduces the image of the first section as illustrated in (b) of FIG. 8C.

In other words, if it is identified that the user has not completed the behavior of preparing the cooking material, the electronic apparatus 100 may repeatedly reproduce the image 810 of the first section on the first area repeatedly, and display the user image 820-1 captured while the image 810 of the first section is repeatedly displayed on the first area, on the second area of the screen.

Meanwhile, as illustrated in (a) of FIG. 8D, the electronic apparatus 100 may display the image 810-1 at the time when the image 810 of the first section is ended on the first area of the screen, and display the user image 820-2 captured while the image 810-1 at the time when the image 810 of the first section is ended is displayed, on the second area of the screen.

For example, the user image 820-2 displayed on the second area may be an image having a similar feature value to the image 810-1 at the time when the image 810 of the first section is ended.

In this case, the electronic apparatus 100 identifies that the user's behavior regarding the preparation of the cooking material has completed. The electronic apparatus 100 displays the image 840 of the second section to be reproduced after the image 810 of the first section on the first area and display the image 850 captured while the image 840 of the second section is reproduced on the second image as illustrated in (b) of FIG. 8D.

In this example, the electronic apparatus 100 may display a sentence 860 which is generated to correspond to each of the image 840 of the second section and the user image 850 on the third area which is different from the first and the second areas where the image 840 of the second section and the user image 850 are displayed, respectively.

For example, as described above, the electronic apparatus 100 performs a scene understanding regarding the behavior of cooking material related to the image 840 of the second section. Subsequently, the electronic apparatus 100 generates a first sentence 861 related to the behavior of cooking the material based on the performed scene understanding and displays the generated first sentence 861 on the third area of the screen.

In addition, as described above, the electronic apparatus 100 performs a scene understanding regarding a user behavior related to the user image 850 which is captured while the image 840 of the second section is displayed. The electronic apparatus 100 generates a second sentence 862 related to the user behavior based on the performed scene understanding and displays the generated second sentence 862 on the third area of the screen.

An example operation of performing a scene understanding by analyzing an image acquired from the electronic apparatus 100 or the captured user image according to an embodiment will be described below.

FIG. 9 is diagram illustrating an example of performing a scene understanding of an image acquired in an electronic apparatus according to an embodiment.

As illustrated in FIG. 9, if the electronic apparatus 100 acquires an image 910, the electronic apparatus 100 inputs a plurality of image frames forming the acquired image 910 to an AI model and acquires a feature value regarding the plurality of input image frames.

For example, the image 910 may be an image received from an external apparatus such as a content server (not illustrated) or an image captured through a camera (not illustrated).

If the feature value regarding the plurality of image frames forming the image 910 is acquired, the electronic apparatus 100 acquires image information 920 regarding each of the image frames based on the feature value acquired from the plurality of image frames.

For example, the image information 920 may include information regarding an object included in the image frames, color information, location information regarding an object, etc.

The electronic apparatus acquires movement information 930 regarding a pre-defined specific object among objects included in the image information regarding each of the image frames based on the feature value acquired from the plurality of image frames. For example, the pre-defined specific object may be a representative object among objects included in each image frame.

Further, when a user voice signal related to the image 910 is received, the electronic apparatus 100 acquires voice information 940 regarding the user voice signal by performing voice recognition regarding the received user voice signal using, for example, and without limitation, a Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC) algorithm.

In addition, the electronic apparatus 100 may further acquire category information 950 input from a user in relation to the image 910. For example, the category information 950 is provided to perform a scene understanding regarding the image 910 within the corresponding category information 950, and through such category information 950, the speed of scene understanding regarding the image 910 can be improved.

If at least one of the image information 920, the movement information 930 regarding a specific object, the voice information 940 and the category information is acquired, the electronic apparatus 100 may perform a scene understanding regarding a behavior included in the image 910 using the acquired information.

The electronic apparatus 100 generates a sentence related to a behavior included in the image 910 based on the scene understanding regarding the image 910.
